About me
Em is the Outreach Coordinator with the Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice. Through their role, Em works to build partnerships statewide to bring public education and awareness on the Pretrial Fairness Act. Before joining the Illinous Network, Em had been working within Chicago Public Schools with young people, parents, and staff as well as adult learners, volunteers, and community members around sexual violence prevention education. This led to their work around incarceration as survivors oftentimes are criminalized for their survival. Currently, Em sits on the steering committee with Liberation Library and helps provide books to young people that are incarcerated and organizes around criminal justice in various campaigns.
